<p>Biology!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Les Miserables</p>
<p>.. has anybody else read this? Thoughts?
I'm liking it so far.</p>
<p>Physics</p>
<p>actual name, I swear. tero771 and others, you are lucky for being able to do some nonschool reading.</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby for school
Lord of the Rings for fun</p>
<p>Les Miserables</p>
<p>I love that book. there's a very dry spell when they're describing Waterloo (I think) so if you hate military descriptions you may find yourself bored. of course, I read this like 4 years ago and certaintly way before I got into military history so it may be better than that. </p>
<p>but the rest of it is still very vivid in my head. I'd list my favorite parts but I'd rather not spoil the book for you, :)</p>
<p>The Bell Jar- Slyvia Plath </p>
<p>a good dose of depression</p>
<p>just finished pride & prejudice for school</p>
<p>on the side:
a little more than half way through with Fast Food Nation
and less than a hundred pages left of Cryptonomicon</p>
<p>Good Going guys, let us also contribute some thoughts about the books we are reading! Positive feedback for what others are reading! The literary discussions are sure to bubble enthusiasm.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Pride and Prejudice! I love that book!
also the BBC adaptation of that is the best book adaptation I have ever seen. Mr. Collins and Mrs. Bennet are even more winceworthy in a fun way.</p>
<p>and after you ge done with Fast Food nation read The Jungle. a lot has changed since then.</p>
<p>not.</p>
<p>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead</p>
<p>one of the funniest and wittiest books i've ever read. it's stuck in every line.</p>
<p>Example I remember:
Player: My goodness no, over your dead body.
Guil: How am I supposed to take that?
Player: Lying down. <a href="He%20laughs%20briefly%20then%20in%20a%20moment%20has%20never%20laughed%20in%20his%20life">i</a>*</p>
<p>Les Miserables is definitely one of my favorite books ever, but I must say that the part where Victor Hugo describes the Paris sewers is quite a bit longer than necessary.</p>
